If you change the regular _expression_ from
 
/[0-9]{8}-[0-9]/
 
to
 
/([0-9]{8}-[0-9])/
 
then after the match, the variable $1 will contain the contents of the matched string.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Newbie - How to get value found by searching forregular _expression_?

I can verify that a value exists that matches a regular _expression_, but how can I return that value?

example:  I add a record and it returns a page with a dynamically generated ID.  The value does not have any tags that will help me locate it so I have to search using a regular _expression_. pageContainsText(/[0-9]{8}-[0-9]/)

This works great, but what do I do if I want to return that value and assign it to a variable?
